How to Apply for Your Real Estate License on eAccessNY
Once you have completed the RELNY course and passed the Final Exam, the next steps are to schedule your state exam, pass the state exam, and then apply for your real estate license through the eAccessNY portal. You will also need a sponsoring broker to hold your license, where RELNY's Job Placement Solutions can provide significant value. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth application process.
Get Started on Your License Application
- Set Up Your eAccessNY Account
- Email realestate@dos.ny.gov for a temporary password.

- Log In to eAccessNY
- Once NYS responds to your email and your account is set up, log in using your User ID (email address) and the temporary password you were sent.
